I have found a solution to question number 4. It is possible to set the same formatstring to the Tooltips property of the chart control.

So consider that one solved.

Zlatan,

You can use a combination of increasing the axis extent and setting vertical alignment on the labels.  As to your third question, the min value is the smallest value from the data source, but min and max can be forced by setting a custom range.  You can also try setting char.ZeroAligned = true.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks! I found that there is property called zeroaligned on the chart.data property, so that is probably what you mean.?

i have played with the extent property but i cannot see that it helps. But perhaps there are different extent properties? I dont want to use vertical labels if that can be avoided.

/H

Have you been able to work this out?  If not, could you post a simple sample application to this forum thread that I could work with and see if I can get it to look the way you want?

Have you got it working now?

Since I am not using the labels it doesn't have the right effect. But I found out that their is a similar property for the SeriesLabels, and that did the trick.

So I guess you solved it ;-)

Thanks!

Hello Zlatan,

Each axis on the chart has a padding property which you can use to set a distance between the axis and the labels. This will be move labels further away from the rest of the primitives. For example the months on your chart will be 25 pixels away from the x axis by using the following line of code,

this.ultraChart1.Axis.X.Labels.Layout.Padding = 25;

Let me know if you have any questions regarding this  matter.

Hello Michael!

No, I don't think it helps since I am not showing the labels.

Here is my code:

       Try

            '

            ' DataSource

            gantSalesBudget.DataSource = GetProjectSalesBudgetDataSource()

            gantSalesBudget.Data.UseRowLabelsColumn = True

            gantSalesBudget.Data.RowLabelsColumn = 0

            gantSalesBudget.Data.ZeroAligned = True

            ' Chart

            gantSalesBudget.Border.Thickness = 0

            ' X-Axis

            gantSalesBudget.Axis.X.Labels.Visible = False

            gantSalesBudget.Axis.X.Extent = 40

            gantSalesBudget.Axis.X.MajorGridLines.Visible = False

            ' Y-Axis

            gantSalesBudget.Axis.Y.Labels.ItemFormatString = "<DATA_VALUE:### ### ##0> " & RH.GetStr("Software_Currency")

            gantSalesBudget.Axis.Y.Margin.Far.Value = System.Convert.ToDouble(8)

            gantSalesBudget.Axis.Y.Margin.Near.Value = System.Convert.ToDouble(0)

            gantSalesBudget.Axis.Y.MajorGridLines.Visible = True

            ' Tooltips

            gantSalesBudget.Tooltips.FormatString = "<DATA_VALUE:### ### ##0> " & RH.GetStr("Software_Currency")

            ' Legend

            gantSalesBudget.Legend.Visible = True

            gantSalesBudget.Legend.Location = Infragistics.UltraChart.Shared.Styles.LegendLocation.Bottom

            gantSalesBudget.Legend.SpanPercentage = 8

            gantSalesBudget.Legend.BorderThickness = 0

            Console.WriteLine("InitSalesBudget")

            '

        Catch ex As Exception

            '

            MsgBox("InitSalesBudget")

            '

        End Try

The first column in my data source is the name of the months that shows up as "values" below the x-axis.

Any other ideas?

Henrik,

You can add some space at the end of the format string.  Try something like this:

UltraChart chart = new UltraChart(); chart.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

chart.Data.DataSource = new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }; chart.Data.ZeroAligned = true;

chart.Axis.X.Labels.ItemFormatString = "<ITEM_LABEL>   "; chart.Axis.X.Labels.SeriesLabels.Visible = false;

Controls.Add(chart);

Let me know if that works for you.

The only thing that I haven't figured out is the spacing between the X-Axis and the labels.

The other questions are solved I think...

Could you describe you idea again, and the properties that I should change in order to get the right appearance...?
